Aaron's increases sponsorship with MWR

ATLANTA, GA -- Aaron's, Inc. announced Wednesday it will add six more Cup races, plus the All-Star Race to its 2010 schedule. The additional races increase Aaron's total to 24 races as the primary sponsor of the Michael Waltrip Racing No. 00 Aaron's Dream Machine driven by David Reutimann.

The six additional point races coming in the first half of the season include: Auto Club Speedway, Dover International Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Michigan International Speedway, Infineon Raceway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

"We are pleased that Aaron's expanded our involvement with David and the No. 00 team this season," said Robin Loudermilk, chief executive officer for Aaron's, Inc. "We have developed an excellent relationship with David, Michael Waltrip and this organization over the years and they have continued to deliver solid results for Aaron's. Adding these six races reinforces our commitment to this team and confidence in this sport. We look forward to another exciting year on the track."

Reutimann said solid sponsorship is one of the most important ingredients to success in 2010. "I take a lot of pride in my relationship with Aaron's and I am excited to have Aaron's and Lucky Dog on board for six more races. Michael introduced me to Aaron's and into the MWR organization and I'm very thankful for all the people that support me. In 2010 we plan to reward that support."

"I'm so lucky to have great partners like Aaron's. We asked them to step up and they did again!," said team co-owner Michael Waltrip.

Aaron's is in the second year of a three-year Cup sponsorship agreement with Reutimann and MWR after serving as the team's Nationwide sponsor since 2000.
